Trace propagation across queues: message context, batch links and retry attempts
Carry trace context through message headers, model batches with span links, and distinguish queue delay, consumer processing and retry attempts without confusing tracing with delivery guarantees.

DevOps System Design & ArchitectureWhy would you put a queue between two services? What does it actually buy, and what does it cost?→Observability, SLOs & ReliabilityA request crosses six services and you have no idea where the time goes. How does tracing fix that?→Observability, SLOs & ReliabilityForty services each ship a different vendor agent. You are consolidating on OpenTelemetry. What improves, what breaks, what of the vendors?→Observability, SLOs & ReliabilityPick a trace-sampling strategy for our checkout service and defend it.→AI & GPU InfrastructureA RAG answer took eleven seconds and nobody can say which stage was slow. Instrument it.→Observability, SLOs & ReliabilityCould we use distributed traces as regression tests for request flows, not just for debugging?→
